physiological function | Setdb1 in macrophages potently suppresses Toll-like receptor TLR4-mediated expression of proinflammatory cytokines including interleukin-6 through its methyltransferase activity. Setdb1-deficiency decreases the basal H3K9 methylation levels and augments TLR4-mediated NF-kappaB recruitment on the proximal promoter region of interleukin-6, thereby accelerating interleukin-6 promoter activity. Macrophage-specific Setdb1-knockout mice exhibit higher serum interleukin-6 concentrations in response to lipopolysaccharide challenge and are more susceptible to endotoxin shock than wild-type mice | Mus musculus |
